    Day 1 Wrap

    WebCam POV Setup

    WebCam POV Setup

    Today was our first day of shooting and it was a good day to start out with.  The sun peaked over the San Diego skyline like a dream (although by the time our shot was set up, we missed it.)  We got some great footage, and I must say the team working on this project is one in a million.  Everybody works tirelessly to take care of each scene.  The only downside to the day is that it was so short.  With such little daylight, you really need to manage time to get as much as possible.  But the constraints of the day, people’s schedules, inconveniences of your surroundings, and all other factors working against you just make the task that much more fun.  Everything is something to look back on and laugh.  We’re having a great time working on this and all the while we’re all keeping you posted on Twitter and 12seconds.tv.  If you want to get involved with this we still need extras for our big “Tweetup” party scene tomorrow.  Rob has posted an ad on craigslist here so check it out, come by and have some fun with us! That’s all for now, I need to get some rest because tomorrow’s call time is 5:00am…again.

    The Calm Before The Storm

    My eye has been twitching for a week now.  In looking it up and asking around, I hear its from stress.  While I don’t necessarily feel too stressed out, I can’t stop thinking about this weekend. This is it.  Tomorrow we start shooting for Jenn2.0 and I couldn’t be more excited.  Several of the scenes have been playing over and over in my mind and subtle nuances of characters have been making me almost giddy.  The pre-production process for this project has been long and at times stressful, but I think everyone who has put work into it would say its been more than worth every bit of it.

    So here I sit, less than 24 hours before we start shooting and all I can do is wait.  There’s no point in stressing over anything at this point.  I mean, there’s still much to do as far as getting equipment, props, locations and such set in stone, but its at least been taken care of, mostly.

    I’m excited to get out there and really work with our actors.  I can speak for everyone when I say I can’t wait to finish this and share it with the world.  So that’s all for now, I need time to get Zenlike or something.
